About The Old Vicarage Care Home
The Old Vicarage Care Home provides residential, respite and sensory impairment care for older people and adults with physical disabilities. Before admission, the home carries out a needs assessment, then reviews care plans regularly as residents’ health, mobility and support needs change.
Day-to-day life can include communal lounges, dining areas, quiet rooms, landscaped gardens and a hair salon. Meals, snacks and drinks are included, and a minibus is available for outings. Healthcare professionals including GPs, chiropodists and opticians can visit the home when needed. Regular events connect residents with the Sherborne community, including live entertainment open to relatives and local people, alongside Holy Communion services followed by refreshments.
